Addition to the Solution of the Problem on the Motion of a Free Nonrelativistic Electron in a Magnetic Field

In addition to the solution of the quantum mechanical problem on the motion of a free electron in a magnetic field, given by L. D. Landau in his pioneering work, this quantum mechanical problem is solved in view of the fact that the sum of the components of the free kinetic energy of an electron along two axes is a periodic quantity varying identically within the boundaries of every Landau energy level. This periodicity is a consequence of the quantized motion of an electron in a plane normal to the direction of the external magnetic field.
